For my birthday, my mother-in-law got me a Crockpot; I can’t imagine that my forced face of surprise and joy was believable. I hope that a special someone got your hints.

I already have my mom’s gift all planned out. While I was out shopping the after-Christmas specials with my mom, she asked me what made tablets so special. Since I work for Dish, I mentioned that with Sling Adapters and the Dish Remote Access app she could watch live TV and her DVR on these little devices. She was amazed and started thinking of all the places she could watch her novelas! I took a mental note that a Sling Adapter would be a great inexpensive gift and as for the app, it’s free. I know that my mom will love her Mother’s Day gift this year since it will also work with her smartphone.

Nothing says Happy Mother’s Day like her constant giggle as she races up to the slide and back down!

Thu, 26 Apr 2012 16:44:54 +0000http://blog.timesunion.com/parenting/?p=17430#comment-75977Ah,another Hallmark holiday. My dream would be to be left alone,have a stack of books(maybe Shades of Grey??) and be able to sit in the yard with sunshine and a comfortable chaise. A nice drink,or two and then dinner magically appearing with the favorite foods that I have not been able to fully enjoy for the past 2 years plus. Such a fantasy! But,thankfully, I can honestly report that I have never received a household appliance or item that would benefit a pet so guess I am a lucky Momma.

All the tables have bored people trying to smile at a mother who feels uncomfortable being the center of attention. I’d rather choke and die. Show some imagination, folks. For the record…I’ve never had to endure such humiliation.

We have a light breakfast, dinner is cooked for me, and we generally sit outside soaking up the sun. That’s it. Perfection.

I usually get flowers, chocolates, or other presents I know my mom will like. Same with the MIL.
My husband hasn’t been good with the Mother’s Day gifts in the past (for his mom) because his birthday, May 10th, almost always falls right around Mother’s Day.He’s better at it now and I make sure to remind him or buy something myself.
